Alvotech Gets FDA Letter, Expects Delay in U.S. Approval of AVT02

Alvotech said Wednesday that approval for AVT02, a biosimilar
candidate for Abbvie's Humira, in the U.S. is likely to be delayed
after the Icelandic company received a complete response letter
from the Food and Drug Administration.
As a result, Alvotech said it would explore options to raise
additional capital to continue advancing pipeline development in
the near term.
ATP Holdings, a unit of Alvotech's largest shareholder, Aztiq,
is interested in providing as much as $100 million from potential
financing, Alvotech said.
The FDA letter was in response to the company's second biologics
license application. In April, the FDA sent Alvotech a complete
response letter for its initial application, which noted certain
deficiencies at the company's Reykjavik facility.
Alvotech said it intends to resubmit the biologics license
application for AVT02.
